Granite Falls Health Care Center

Granite Falls Health Care Center sits in the community with 48 certified beds and two neighborhoods, each made up of 24 resident rooms, and these rooms have extra-wide beds, a wardrobe, dresser, nightstand, TV, and a bathroom with an extra-large shower, so people have space and comfort, and the place uses unique names for some of its services and care options, though the details on those names aren't always clear, but families should know there are different care types and programs available here, all backed by a church-related, non-profit ownership and an affiliation with Avera Health, and home care services are part of what's offered along with a range of health care services and patient care amenities meant to make life easier for residents. This center has been managed by Avera Marshall since January 2020 and overseen by Thomas Kooiman in that time, and for staffing, there's an average of 3.68 nurse hours per resident each day, though the nurse turnover rate is 28.9%. Inspections from regulators show some issues have come up, including 13 deficiencies overall, with 2 related to infection, and the July 17, 2024 inspection report found 6 specific problems-some involved resident rights like F0576 (not making sure everyone could use and have privacy with communication methods) and F0557 (not always treating residents' property and dignity as required), and another one, F0604, was about physical restraints not always being handled as they should, and while no actual harm to residents was reported, the inspectors did say there was potential for more harm if these weren't fixed, so while there's plenty of space and some nice amenities, families or people considering Granite Falls Health Care Center may want to review these inspection details and think about what matters most for their own situation when looking at this facility.
